  • Ornia
    ornia ISO Shaping a Renewed Future %<5gK^ February 1, 2016 The Honorable Edmund G. Brown Jr. State Capitol Building, 1st Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Governor Brown: The California Energy Commission, California Public Utilities Commission, and the California Independent System Operator are writing regarding the Emergency Proclamation you issued on January 6, 2016, relating to the gas leak from the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility. The Proclamation called on us to work together and "take all actions necessary to ensure the continued reliability of natural gas and electric supplies during the moratorium on gas injections into Aliso Canyon." The immediate issue has been gas system reliability for core customers, which we are working to ensure reliable gas for the rest of winter given the field's current 15 billion cubic feet of working gas. Our shared concern is electric system reliability for this summer, and both gas and electric system reliability for next winter and beyond in the event injections cannot resume. The nexus between the gas and power systems in the Los Angeles Basin is a complex problem to assess given the constraints on gas deliveries, rapid changes in electricity demand that occur every day, and electric transmission constraints that limit electricity imports into the area. We have created a team to perform the studies that includes our experts and those of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and SoCalGas Company. There is good reason to be concerned that reliability of supply may be critical for electric generators in the LA Basin, especially those serving LADWP. We expect to complete the work related to summer 2016 by April when we will hold a public, joint agency workshop in Los Angeles to describe the reliability risks and present a reliability action plan for mitigating them.

  • Communication from Public
    Communication from Public Name: Suju Vijaya Date Submitted: 05/11/2021 07:51 AM Council File No: 21-0434 Comments for Public Posting: I am a Valley resident and co-leader of East Valley Indivisibles, a progressive, activist group with a reach of thousands. I am writing to express my strong support for Topanga Apartments, a 55-unit supportive housing project that is being proposed to be built in Council District 12. This project would provide supportive housing for our vulnerable homeless neighbors in Chatsworth. It would additionally benefit the neighborhood and maximize the use of the property, which was currently occupied by an auto sales lot and two garages. We also know that the homelessness crisis impacts every community across the city. As such, we need to make sure that we are building supportive and affordable housing across Los Angeles, but especially in areas that are not creating their fair share. This project has already met the necessary threshold to receive funding and the developer already participated in an honest and reasonable community engagement process. Perhaps most importantly, these would be the first supportive units funded by HHH in Council District 12. With this being the last occasion to allocate these funds, we cannot let this opportunity pass. We must continue to move forward with this chance to build the critical units we need to end homelessness in LA, and we urge you to OPPOSE councilman Lee’s Motion to rescind the HHH funds from this project. Communication from Public Name: Ben Nusser Date Submitted: 05/11/2021 08:02 AM Council File No: 21-0434 Comments for Public Posting: I strongly oppose this motion.

  • Money and Power in the City of Angels Money and Power in the City of Angels
    Money and Power in the City of Angels Money and Power in the City of Angels Twenty years have passed since voters modifi ed Los Angeles’ campaign fi nance laws to regulate money in municipal elections. Those reforms successfully reduced candidate dependence on large organizational contributions, but lobbyists and special interests have found ways around those reforms and continue to fl ood the system with contributions and independent expenditures. • Organizations and special interests provide candidates and elected offi cials with unlimited amounts of money by contributing to ballot measure committees that the candidates and offi cials control. Between 2006 and 2009, three Los Angeles municipal offi ce holders raised almost $10 million for such committees, with some contributions as large as $500,000. • Special interest use of independent expenditures has also skyrocketed. In 2009, labor unions spent almost $800,000 or 45% of all independent expenditures in municipal races. Money and Power in the City of Angels recommends four reforms to reduce special interest infl uence and improve disclosure of money fl owing to Los Angeles municipal offi ce holders: • Contributions to candidate controlled ballot measure committees should be limited to the same amount as the contributions to candidate committees. • The Los Angeles City Ethics Commission should disclose candidate controlled ballot measure committee contribution and expenditure data in an online spreadsheet format. • Lobbyists should be banned from acting as intermediaries and delivering campaign contributions from their clients to offi ceholders or candidates. • The Ethics Commission should resume issuing reports identifying the top ten lobbyists. cover design: www.smartartanddesign.com cover CGS helps civic organizations, decision-makers and the media to strengthen democracy and improve government processes by providing rigorous research, nonpartisan analysis, strategic Ava Alexandar consulting and innovative media models of public information and civic engagement.

  • Local General Elections and a Special Election Were Held in the City of Los Angeles on Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Outlined Are the E
    Local general elections and a special election were held in the City of Los Angeles on Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Outlined are the election results for the Offices of Mayor, City Attorney, City Controller, and odd-numbered City Council Districts. Also included are results for the special election in City Council District 6, Ballot Measures, Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education, and Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees. CITY OF LOS ANGELES Mayor City Councilmember Eric Garcetti defeated City Controller Wendy Greuel 53.92 percent to 46.07 percent. Garcetti is the first elected Jewish Mayor and is the outgoing three-term Councilmember of the Thirteenth District of Los Angeles. A fourth- generation Angeleno, Garcetti won a hotly-contested election to the Los Angeles City Council in 2001, becoming one of the youngest city councilmembers in the city’s history. He was unanimously elected as Council President in 2005 and unanimously re-elected in 2007 and 2009. During his term in office, Garcetti emerged as an effective local problem-solver and as a strong advocate on citywide and national issues. He led the effort to fund the nation’s largest Affordable Housing Trust Fund, oversaw the economic and cultural revitalization of Hollywood, wrote and championed Proposition O to clean up our local water, won passage of a plan that eliminated the city’s business tax for 60 percent of all businesses, and helped bring thousands of new high wage jobs to Los Angeles and his district. Garcetti studied urban planning and political science at Columbia University, where he received his B.A.

Joe Buscaino, City Council Public Safety Committee Hon. Kevin de León, City Council Public Safety Committee Hon. Marqueece Harris-Dawson, City Council Public Safety Committee RE: Public Safety Committee Item # 20-0729 (on agenda for March 17, 2021) BY EMAIL Dear City Council Public Safety Committee: We are community groups writing with grave concern about the “Independent Examination of the Los Angeles Police Department 2020 Protest Response” submitted to the City Council last week. Authored by Independent Counsel Gerald Chaleff, the report proposes to increase LAPD’s resources and surveillance powers, including through the creation of a new bureau 1 permanently devoted to “Public Order Policing.” ​ This recommendation is a barely veiled effort ​ to recreate the notorious Public Disorder Intelligence Division, which LAPD launched in reaction to the Watts Rebellion. Proposals like this are the exact opposite of what our communities took to the streets last summer to demand: defunding LAPD’s massive budget. Mr. Chaleff’s report also contains significant omissions and factual inaccuracies, raising questions about what evidence his team reviewed and whose interests they are accountable to. The report ignores your motion’s specific instruction to “include information on how LAPD enforced curfews and dispersal orders on unhoused individuals.” The 101-page report never once uses the terms unhoused, houseless, homeless, house, or home. Your motion also instructed Mr. Chaleff to investigate LAPD “shooting an individual in a wheelchair who was not even part of the protests” and “an LAPD cruiser striking a protestor and then fleeing the scene in Pershing Square.” His report never mentions those incidents of violence, let alone attempts the “full investigation into these allegations” that you urged “must be conducted.” Indeed what did ​ Mr.
